When I first thought about a 2cents site (a couple of years ago) I did not realize that it would take so long to come to life. But I am excited about this blog and hopefully over the future blogs you will gain some good insight to financial management.

Some of the future topics that will be coming are:

1. Planning
2. Saving
3. Tithe
4. Getting a Job
5. Social Security/Medicare/FWT
6. 401k - retirement planning (yes - retirement - it is not too early to think about that!)
7. Life Insurance
8. Disability
9. Pre-tax saving options
10. Defined Benefit Plans
11. Vacation/Sick/PTO
12. Health Insurance...and anything else that comes to mind

Keep in mind that these are financial "tidbits" and it is of a general nature. Financial management is something that is personal to each person and therefore the tips can be applied in a general way. However, if you have a specific question to your financial matters - just email me or comment on the blog and I will see if I have the information to answer your question.

Recently, I have changed the structure of my CPA firm. This decision was a difficult one to make but necessary to stay in God's will for my life. Over the last two years I have managed a CPA firm, become Chief Financial Officer for Goodwill of Dallas and worked on conferences and camps in my spare time. In that time, my role at Goodwill has grown and pretty much has dictated my day to day affairs. As CFO at Goodwill - I oversee the accounting/finance department, human resource department, IT and the nurse.

But over the last two years, my passion to do conferences and camps has grown and that needs more free time to develop. So I decided to let go of the firm ( I have a few friends who I will still help out from time to time) but this free up my time to work on my passion, expand my knowledge at Goodwill and also to blog on finance topics. I will still do a tax return here and there for some friends and I will still take my necessary courses to keep my CPA license current, but the burden of managing the firm are now gone.

It was hard to let go but I am excited about the future and all it holds. I can't wait to see what God has in store for all that is happening!
